MEMPHIS, Tennessee - The Memphis Redbirds (44-30) trailed 4-0 until the bottom of the sixth before rallying for a 5-4 win over the New Orleans Baby Cakes (Marlins) Friday night at AutoZone Park.
Memphis scored two runs in the sixth and three in the eighth to complete the comeback.
The Redbirds had four doubles on the night. Memphis' first run of the game in the sixth also scored via wild pitch.
Layne, who was signed by the Cardinals one week ago and arrived in Memphis today, gave up a leadoff hit in the top of the ninth but struck out the side to finish the game.
With his 18 steals this season, Mercado is already two away from entering the single-season Redbirds leaderboard.
